The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent US federal agency that supports fundamental research and education in science and engineering across various fields, including astronomy and astrophysics. NSF provides grants for research projects, infrastructure, and facilities, such as telescopes and observatories, that enable discoveries about the universe. They also collaborate with NASA on space-related research activities and provide funding for projects utilizing the International Space Station (ISS) National Laboratory. NSF's activities advance knowledge, cultivate a STEM workforce, and expand scientific literacy.
